The Great Cleaning Obsession of 2019

Every empire starts somewhere. Ours started with Mathew and an unhealthy relationship with cleaning products...

🧽

The Obsession Begins

"It all started when Mathew was spending WAY too much time cleaning. We're talking 3-4 hours a day, every day. His friends thought he'd lost it, but he just couldn't function in a messy space. His flat was cleaner than most hospitals!"

💡

The Lightbulb Moment

"One day, his friend came over and was absolutely amazed. 'Mathew, this place is incredible! Could you help me?' That's when it clicked - maybe this obsession could actually help people (and pay the bills too)!"

🤝

The Dynamic Duo

"Mathew spotted something special in his friend - she LOVED cleaning just as much as he did! Together, they were like the cleaning Avengers. One client led to ten, and before they knew it, they had a proper little business going!"

🚀

The Cleaning Revolution

"Fast forward to today: 40 amazing cleaners, 70+ sites managed, and enough cleaning stories to fill a comedy special! What started as one person's quirky habit became the North West's favorite cleaning company!"

These aren't just values - they're our cleaning commandments!

😊

Smile While You Spray

Life's too short for grumpy cleaning! We believe every surface deserves a smile and every client deserves a laugh.

This all started with helping a friend. Every client becomes part of our extended (very clean) family.

We're not just thorough - we're surprisingly speedy too! Efficiency with a side of excellence.
